I drew this one solely because I wanted to see Korea in a headband. :D Yes, I am shallow.
China and Rome. I will forever be charmed by the fact that they did kind of meet, historically, and how puzzling they must have looked to each other. (China, you old, old man.)
Little Belarus, in a traditional dress.
A pencil-sketch I did for a travelling art book last year. ♥ (Click for larger image)
Australia, inventing stealing acquiring the recipe for pavlova. :D
(For those who don't know, Australia and New Zealand both claim
pavlova as one of their national foods, and they've been squabbling over its origin for a looong time. Apparently it really did originate in New Zealand though lol. I say this as an Australian, so to my fellow countrypeople: please don't lynch me.)
Finally, I drew this for a cultural food-themed art competition over at
#APHetalia-Club on dA. I chose to do desserts and sweet foods. :D
From what I wrote on dA (and this is all internet-researched, so apologies for any mistakes!):
Russia: Medovik【Медовик】(Honey layer cake)
America: Donuts
Canada: Nanaimo bar (Bar cookie with butter icing)
